ne of these places work just go with wbody they have a cat for 80.

 

[Sinister Drag Designs]

why go cat at all......are you not modding anything past this...id save it and put towards some goodies

i know someone will argue this, buta straight pipe is cheaper,and never have to worry about it clogging, ive heard of high flow ones getting cloged too.

what if i throw a code?

 

[imported_Ron Vogel]

Get the catless DP...I'll remove the code for you. You'll be happier, and if down the road you decide to sell the car, a replacement cat can be welded in, typically they are $50ish on Ebay.

[snapback]115376[/snapback]​

what about emissions down the road? If they dont' look underneath the car, is there any way they can tell you deleted the o2?

 

[imported_Theautoguy]

It's my understanding that cat's are warrantied for 7 years as dictated by federal law. Research it out...I may be wrong.

 

[chipmonk212121]

i do believe that he is correct......not sure if its a state or federal but it is a law

This is the way to go. They do not inspect visually, just plug into the OBD2 port and see if any codes are thrown. If the codes are removed from the PCM you will be fine.

Thats not totally true. I was visually inspected the last time I went for emissions. Never was inspected before. They do it randomly. Just get a magnaflow cat at your local exhaust shop.

I've never been visualled and I had that cam with an obnoxious exhaust... Not to say it couldn't happen but usually it won't. If on the off chance you do get visualled simply fail and then go to another facility.

[snapback]115438[/snapback]​

It goes on record why you failed. So even if you goto another facility, wouldnt they see you failed due to no cat and check again??

 

[Mike K]

Good point... I'm really not sure.

Im not either. Thats why I was asking. :lolsign:

IMHO, just get a high flow cat. They are warrantied if something happens and you can pass emissions without a problem.
